Extra $30M to help businesses grow e-commerce

The provincial government announced today that the Launch Online Grant program will receive an additional $30 million because of high demand. The program launched in February with $12 million to help business build or expand e-commerce capabilities. The extra funds are expected to support 4,000 more businesses, on top of the 1,500 that have already benefited from grants of up to $7,500.
 
The program is being administered by Alacrity Canada and money is re-invested in BC-based website development companies.
